1500W in a 2X4?

If it's led, that's 150? Or a real 1500w? I assumed the 150w real.

 

[Bbonez]

Yes!

That sounds more like it. I've got 2400W in my 10×10.

 

[Aqua Man]

Yes!

It's not 1500w it's a 1500w equivalent. They do not make 1500w led grow lights.

It's probably 300ish w

I have the perfect area, three concrete walls, 80 inches wide and about 8 feet deep but don’t think the wife would want a built in grow area even though the growing is for her, not me. I already bought the dehumidifier and I do have a few small heaters to use when needed.

That's 195W according to the manufacturer.

 

[Aqua Man]

Yeah 260w. I was 40w out

 

[Bbonez]

Yeah 260w. I was 40w out

That's the 1500w model? Sometimes you have to double check the box that's highlighted as it's showing for a different model. Plus Amazon posting often have the same info for multiple models for some reason.

 

[Aqua Man]

This is off Amazon. Says 258w

 

[lvstealth]

I’ve read on their web site to keep the light 24 inches above the plants so I’m doing just that my plants are 3 inches +/-

I'd go a but further if they are young.... like 30" you can always increase a little at a time.

If you post pics I'll tell you what the plants are telling you about the intensity and explain to you how to read them.

Here you go! They look leggy to me

Nah they are fine.... feeding a light nutrient solution of around 150-200ppm? If not then I would start.

Yeah about 30" should be good for now.

When do I move them into 5 gallon fabric pots

 

[Aqua Man]

What type of pots and media are you planning on?

 

[Ponky]

In a small tent I blow air into the tent for positive pressure. Simply so the walls aren't drawn in and there's a bit more space for canopy.

 

[Rickcin]

What type of pots and media are you planning on?

5 gallon fabric with coco coir and perlite mix.
